Charmed, We’re Sure

Thanyaly Jewelry

The guy dragged to Oprah on private jet giveaway day. The kid who always got called out of class right before a pop quiz. Anyone related to a Coppola.

Some people are just lucky. You’re not one of them. All the more reason to adorn yourself with one of Thanyaly’s creations.

The local jewelry designer, a Venezuela native, makes necklaces adorned with sterling silver and vermeil charms that symbolize good luck in various cultures. Horseshoes, Italian horns carved from precious stones, four-leaf clovers, Chinese coins, hearts, keys, and general words of encouragement (“Passion,” “Live,” “Happiness”) are clustered together on a wrapable rope of colored suede.

More than just an accessory, it’s an attention-grabber. Tie one on to spice up a white cotton V-neck or simple black dress — or the next time you need a little help aligning the stars.

You know, the kind without a famous last name.
